Almost 40 years later, this movie is like a brilliant and complex wine that becomes better as it matures.
This is the story of love, longing, memories, delusions, heartaches and the human soul. The story of separation, parallel lives, crossings of timelines and two stories happening simultaneously within each other ... quantum life at its best.
The cast is superb, the setting classic Angelopoulos ... dark, run down, cold, heartbreaking and magical. The script is deep and painful. The music of Karaindrou is a masterpiece that makes your soul cry.
This is Angelopoulos and Greek/global cinema at their best. A masterpiece that must be taught in film studies.
